   I consider supercomputing a "disruptive technology." 
   [Excuse buzz-phrase usage.] My guess is hurricane Irene 
   would have been significantly more disruptive without 
   the informatics computed by supercomputers.

   When I discuss the topic of supercomputing, inevitably the 
   first question I'm asked is "Why?" When it happened last week 
   Thursday in the Intro. to CS class, I was able to start my 
   answer with "Irene."

My Facebook posting on 29 August 2011.

   I displayed this list during the CSC100 class and it made me mad. 
   Top 5 supercomputers in the world: #1 Japan, #2 China, #3 U.S., 
   #4 China, #5 Japan. Rewind to June 02008... top 5 supercomputers 
   in the world: #1 U.S., #2 U.S., #3 U.S., #4 U.S., #5 U.S.
